"Hmm Cobalt what do you see? You found that other door maybe we're missing something only you can see."

[Paradox]

"Nothing I can see, I would have mentioned it," he said, sighing.

[Paradox]

(Napsii, are you having trouble responding to my post? Because I can write more, have more happen. I have a plan for what Spike and Teri are gonna do next.)

[daxtinator396]

"Well lets try knocking. Sometimes complicated problems have simple solutions." He says as he knocks on the door the sound reverbrating through the chamber.

[Paradox]

Nothing happens. This problem has no simple solution.

[daxtinator396]

(can you give me something to work with here? I have a gaint door with no controls or anyway past it. x.x)

[Paradox]

(Nope. In fact you should stop posting so quickly, there is another person in the group you're in.)

[daxtinator396]

(Ahh true I think I'll wait for Zender though it could be a bit til he gets on.)

[Paradox]

(That's why I wasn't giving you much, I want to be considerate.)

[Zender_Solarheart]

(Since Dax could just type that he made it through, I'll do the same...)

Kouga ducks and weaves through the remaining traps with cat-like precision - fitting, given his genetics - though the last blade came pretty close to nicking him. Hell, he could feel a few hairs get shaved off his head, though he thankfully didn't lose any skin along with them. With all that done, he finds himself staring at the same large door, with no visible control devices anywhere...odd...

"Well, this is quite disheartening. We jump between the fangs of death just to get here, and all we find is this eyesore impeding our progress..." In order to alleviate some of his tension, and to express his irritation, Kouga kicks the door's lower section...though not hard enough that he'd be hopping around and grabbing his foot afterward. "Kuso..." He mutters the equivalent of "dammit" in his native language, then checks around the door's frame, looking for any hinges he might be able to loosen up with electromagnetism. Nobody said that getting through this kind of door meant literally going through it...

[Paradox]

The door is like a ten foot high vault door. Think fallout 3.

[Zender_Solarheart]

(A Fallout 3-esque vault door, which seems built to keep people out...it leads to the Obelisk, doesn't it?)

Seeing that there are no hinges in sight makes Kouga even more irritated, enough for him to just want to punch the thing really hard, whether it opens or not. However, he inadvertently puts an extra electromagnetic "oomph" on the punch, as he's grown so used to using that for stronger punches that it's just natural to him. He grunts with dismay as he does so, his irritation becoming easier to notice.

[Paradox]

(That has been stated three or four times now.)

[daxtinator396]

"Kouga I have a suggestion. If the door doesn't have hinges could you perhaps use your magic to manipulate the mechanism holding it in place by using the door itself as a conductor?"

[Thaedael]

"If you sold out, it means you can go celebrate with good food like the other night no?" he said with a shrug.

[napsii]

Cinder was curious. They all looked fairly serious about this. Perhaps they would have a chance at succeeding this time? Even before she had been created, they had come close from what she had been told.

Like them, she had always wondered what lay outside the Obelisk. Terror? Opportunity? A part of her found it difficult to accept that the entire world could be a smoldering wasteland. Knowing humans, if the Magistrate wanted to keep anyone from going out, there had to be something they were guarding, if not their own power over the people. After all, who'd want to stay here if opportunity laid behind the walls?

She wasn't certain. But more importantly, wasn't at all sure if she should support or reject the idea of leaving. The android despised dealing with probabilities over hard facts. It made planning difficult.

At least she knew she just had to keep Spike safe, though. That was an easy enough job...usually.

She walked up to the dragon kid in question and said:

"What is your plan this time?"

She wasn't interested in shutting this op down. If anything she felt she'd have to support it since it was no longer her orders to quell the rebellion. It was just to keep Spike intact.

[Paradox]

"To find a way out, we know where the actual doorway is. Come on, Teri, we need to hack my dad's computer and look for a layout of the traps. We lost fifteen people heading for the previous exit, and the last trap destroyed the exit," Spike and Teri went towards the office.

[Paradox]

"I'm saving up for a new outfit right now," Ayla said, smiling at him.

[Zender_Solarheart]

"Well, I could try..." Kouga replies, stepping forward to examine how to best attempt such an action. "However, I suggest you all stand clear. Electricity is somewhat unpredictable, and I'd rather not have anyone accidentally jolted in the heart."

With that said, he places his hand on the vault door, checks to make sure that everyone's standing back, and (assuming they are) begins passing an electric current through the metal, doing what he can to "direct" it towards the center and sides, where a locking mechanism is likely to be. Once he can establish a decent spread between the door's edges, he begins to slowly "twist" the current's path, causing it to rotate along the surface, occasionally pulsing a briefly larger charge to reach further. The aim of the charge-pulses is to try and cause the electricity to arc out, possibly striking a control panel on a wall, or something else bolting it shut.

[Paradox]

No, the door is welded shut on both sides.
